Others in attendance were Guest Council member Andrew Goben, Mark and Dawn Christian, Lee Peck, Rhonda Bennett; employees Brandon Trower and Laredo Davis, the deputy clerk, City clerk, and newspaper representatives.

Mayor Moorman started the meeting by expressing condolences to the John Rider family. Mr. Rider was very active in community affairs, and served as both a Council Member and as the Mayor for the City of Corydon.

The Christians and Lee Peck expressed their dissatisfaction that the Water and Wastewater Operator position was not advertised in the paper. The Council replied that they had asked the surrounding City’s operators if they would help out, but they were not interested. They also searched the IDNR list, but to no avail. This is a special position requiring special licenses and operators are few. The position will be posted in the local paper and on the IRWA website.

Rodgers made the motion to approve Resolution 2019-7, a resolution which designates Susan Carpenter as the City’s appointment to the REAP Board.
